Because the isotopic signatures measured in the study are lower than the values typically entered
into global climate change models, the results of this study suggest the models may be underestimating the change to atmospheric carbon - 13 for each simulated emissions scenario.

I confess that I have become somewhat blasé about the range of exciting — I think revolutionary is probably more accurate — technologies that we are rolling out today: our work in genomics and its translation
into varieties that are reaching poor farmers today; our innovative integration of long — term and multilocation trials with crop
models and modern IT and communications technology to reach farmers in ways we never even imagined five years ago; our vision to create a C4 rice and see to it that Golden Rice reaches poor and hungry children; maintaining productivity gains in the face of dynamic pests and pathogens; understanding the nature of the rice grain and what makes for good quality; our many efforts to
change the way rice is grown to meet the challenges of
changing rural economies,
changing societies, and a
changing climate; and, our extraordinary array of partnerships that has placed us at the forefront of the CGIAR
change process through the
Global Rice Science Partnership.

The recent slowdown in
global warming has brought
into question the reliability of
climate model projections of future temperature
change and has led to a vigorous debate over whether this slowdown is the result of naturally occurring, internal variability or forcing external to Earth's

into climate models.
In order to understand the potential importance of the effect, let's look at what it could do to our understanding of
climate: 1) It will have zero effect on the
global climate models, because a) the constraints on these
models are derived from other sources b) the effect is known and there are methods for dealing the errors they introduce c) the effect they introduce is local, not
global, so they can not be responsible for the signal / trend we see, but would at most introduce noise
into that signal 2) It will not alter the conclusion that the
climate is
changing or even the degree to which it is
changing because of c) above and because that conclusion is supported by multiple additional lines of evidence, all of which are consistent with the trends shown in the land stations.
The two scientists, with colleagues from the UK, the U.S., the Netherlands and Czechoslovakia, report in Nature

into the atmosphere, from the combustion of fossil fuels.
EcoPlanet is the first company to successfully industrialize bamboo, providing a proven
model of successful ecosystem restoration at scale, converting thousands of acres of degraded land back
into fully functioning ecosystems, reversing the negative effects of

To better determine the fate of the species in the face of
climate change, the researchers analyzed a total of 34 different

into account atmospheric sensitivity to greenhouse gases and different levels of human greenhouse gas emissions.
(November 2, 2013) Scientists are now beginning to rethink their
climate change models and are seriously discussing the possibility the earth is entering
into a period of
global cooling.
These results suggest that both
global and regional
climate models may fail to translate projected circulation
changes into their likely rainfall impacts in southeast Australia.
One reason to separate the
global climate change problem
into the two components of (1)
global warming, and (2) natural variability is to recognize that the
model analysis of these two components has different
modeling requirements.
Billions of tons of carbon trapped in high - latitude permafrost may be released
into the atmosphere by the end of this century as the Earth's
climate changes, further accelerating
global warming, a new computer
modeling study indicates.
